The unified saccharification and fermentation (USF) system was developed for direct production of ethanol from agarose. This system contains an enzymatic saccharification process that uses three types of agarases and a fermentation process by recombinant yeast. The $pGMF{\alpha}-HGN$ plasmid harboring AGAH71 and AGAG1 genes encoding ${\beta}-agarase$ and the NABH558 gene encoding neoagarobiose hydrolase was constructed and transformed into the Saccharomyces cerevisiae 2805 strain. Three secretory agarases were produced by introducing an S. cerevisiae signal sequence, and they efficiently degraded agarose to galactose, 3,6-anhydro-L-galactose (AHG), neoagarobiose, and neoagarohexose. To directly produce ethanol from agarose, the S. cerevisiae $2805/pGMF{\alpha}-HGN$ strain was cultivated into YP-containing agarose medium at $40^{\circ}C$ for 48 h (for saccharification) and then $30^{\circ}C$ for 72 h (for fermentation). During the united cultivation process for 120 h, a maximum of 1.97 g/l ethanol from 10 g/l agarose was produced. This is the first report on a single process containing enzymatic saccharification and fermentation for direct production of ethanol without chemical liquefaction (pretreatment) of agarose.

분쇄마찰매체함유 불균일상 효소반응계를 활용한 생전분의 무증자당화법은 고농도, 고순도의 포도당을 고효율로 직접 얻을 수 있는 새로운 당화법으로 이를 high fructose corn syrup(HFCS) 제조공정에 응용코져 연구하였다. 400g/$\ell$ 생전분을 24시간 무증자당화시켜 이성화반응에 적합한 고농도인 398g/$\ell$와 고순조인 98 포도당 용액을 농축과정을 거치지 않고 직접 얻을 수 있었다. 전분에 대한 포도당수율은 0.90으로, 미반응 잔유전분은 쉽게 원심분리되었으며, 재당화도 용이하였다. 또한 무증자당화액은 단백질성 변성물, 이온 등 불순물의 함량이 매우 적어, 이성화 반응 전단계인 분리 정제과정을 단순화할 수 있었다. 생성된 당용액의 고정화 포도당 이성화효소 기질로서의 적합성을 검토하여 우수한 결과를 얻었다. 생전분 직접당화법을 도입한 새로운 HFCS 제조공정은 액화/당화공정을 경유하는 기존의 공정에 비하여 여러가지 장점이 있어 산업적 활용이 기대되며, 이를 위한 후속연구가 요망된다.

We improved on a unified saccharification and fermentation (USF) system for the direct production of ethanol from agarose by increasing total agarase activity. The pGMFα-NGH plasmid harboring the NABH558 gene encoding neoagarobiose hydrolase and the AGAG1 and AGAH71 genes encoding β-agarase was constructed and used to transform Saccharomyces cerevisiae 2805. NABH558 gene transcription level was increased and total agarase activity was increased by 25 to 40% by placing the NABH558 gene expression cassette upstream of the other gene expression cassettes. In the 2805/pGMFα-NGH transformant, three secretory agarases were produced that efficiently degraded agarose to galactose, 3,6-anhydro-L-galactose (AHG), neoagarobiose, and neoagarohexaose. During the united cultivation process, a maximum of 2.36 g/l ethanol from 10 g/l agarose was produced over 120 h.

Raw starch can be effectively saccharified in an enzyme reaction system containing sttrition-milling media. In order to develop an effcient attrition-coupled bioreactor(bioattritor), a rotating drum type bioattitor was construced, and its optimal operation conditions and power consumptions were evaluated. The optimal conditions for 3l bioattritor were 4 baffled, baffle size of 1:0.05 (the ratio of drum diameter to baffle), drum rotation speed of 100 rpm, and 1.33g of 3 mm glass bead/g of raw corn starch.

The production of high-value chemicals from natural resources as an alternative for petroleum-based products is currently expanding in parallel with biorefinery. The use of lignocellulosic biomass as raw material is promising to achieve economic and environmental sustainability. Filamentous fungi, particularly Aspergillus species, are already used industrially to produce organic acid as well as many enzymes. The production of lignocellulose-degrading enzymes opens the possibility for direct fungal fermentation towards organic acids such as itaconic acid (IA) and fumaric acid (FA). These acids have wide-range applications and potentially addressable markets as platform chemicals. However, current technologies for the production of these compounds are mostly based on submerged fermentation. This work showed the capacity of two Aspergillus species (A. terreus and A. oryzae) to yield both acids by solid-state fermentation and simultaneous saccharification and fermentation. FA was optimally produced at by A. oryzae in simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (0.54 mg/g wheat bran). The yield of 0.11 mg IA/g biomass by A. oryzae is the highest reported in the literature for simultaneous solid-state fermentation without sugar supplements.

본 연구는 자기가수분해전 처리를 통하여 제조한 반응성이 높은 셀룰로오스(high reactive cellulose, HRC)기질의 카르복시메틸화(carboxymethylation, CM화) 특성을 알기 위하여 수행되었으며, 비교를 위하여 시판 알파셀룰로오스(commercial α-cellulose, CAC) 및 침엽수 리파이나기계펄프(Refiner mechanical pulp, RMP) 2종의 시료를 사용하였다. HRC는 12시간 당화처리로 70%, 24시간 처리로 90%, 72시간 처리로 99.5%의 높은 당화율을 나타냈다. 아울러 Cellulase 효소활성에 있어서 처리 전후에 측정된 CMCase 및 Avicelase의 효소활성의 큰 변화가 없었다. 이에 대하여 72시간 처리로 CAC는 57%의 당화율을, 리그닌을 많이 포함하는 RMP는 38%의 매우 낮은 당화율을 보였다. CM화시 리그닌함량이 낮은 HRC 및 CAC시료의 CM화가 용이하였고, 1.13-1.15의 높은 치환도를, 리그닌함량이 많은 RMP는 0.85 정도의 낮은 치환도를 나타냈다. 모든 시료에서 알칼리의 농도는 30%, 3시간 처리가 가장 높은 치환도를 보여주었다. CM화물로부터의 수용성부분은 HRC 및 CAC에서 98-98.5%, RMP 로부터는 31.5%로 매우 낮았다. 비표면적이 낮은 RMP는 보수도가 매우 낮았으며, 비표면적이 높았던 CAC 및 HRC는 435% 및 321%의 매우 높은 보수도 값을 나타냈다. 팽윤도에 있어서는 비표면적과는 무관하게 HRC, RMP 그리고 CAC 순으로 팽윤율이 커졌다.
